Computational methods in physics: code examples

---

Here is a start at useful Python code fragments

---

(1) An example of an Euler-Richardson (2nd order Runge-Kutta) numerical integration module.

This illustrates both a fixed step and an adaptive integration method.

Note:

• The code illustrates encapsualisation of the algorithm in a class structure.
• The code illustrates the use of generators.

---

(2) A set of classes for simple root-finding.
